...Marianela Somoza Latin Cuisine Class Research paper 2 CUBA I am going to do my research paper on Cuba because I find the culture fascinating and the food is amazingly good. The republic of Cuba it is one big island that it is about 100 miles of south Florida. Cuba is the largest island in the Coast area. Christopher Columbus discovered Cuba in 1492. As the island developed the Spanish began mistreating the people who lived there before. They started getting black slaves from Africa to operate mines and plantations. Since the African people worked in Cuba both formed the culture and the Cuban cuisine was born. The Spanish people brought several fruits and grains with them like lemons and oranges and rice as well and vegetables to. In Cuba the major crop is the Sugar cane. With the big influence of the African culture in Cuba they introduced a lot of popular dishes like rice and beans also known as Moors and Christians accompanied with a side of tostones its pieces of fried plantain it is very delicious. The Cuban cuisine took a drastic turn after the Cuban Revolution in 1959 when Fidel Castro overthrew the government. The Cubans in that time began to leave the island because of lack of food supply. The conditions worsten because of political problems that they could not trade out internationally and the food supply became very poor quality. We know that Spain and...

...Alcatraz is a prison that is based on an island in the San Francisco Bay in California. The prison was named an inescapable prison because it was surrounded by fifty to fifty four degree water. The island was first discovered by land in 1755 by Lt. don Juan Manuel de Ayala but had been seen by Sir Francis Drake when he docked in San Francisco bay. The prison is known for having some of the deadliest and most deceiving inmates out of any other prison. The prison has had many escape attempts but most have failed, except for one which was made by Frank Lee Morris and three fellow inmates. The island's history dates back a long time ago, but became a military institution in 1850, when president Millard Fillmore signed an order and fortified the island to protect the San Francisco Bay. The island first caught attention when Lt. don Juan Manuel de Ayala first discovered it and mapped it out in 1755. In the late 1850s the U.S. army began holding military prisoners on the island. They held the prisoners on the island because it is totally isolated and surrounded by water....

...Professor: Virginia Weatherston Many health care organizations in New York, including Long Island are moving toward the continued growth of improved documentations and communication. It is a big change of moving from paper-based nursing documentation to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) as required by the department of Health law that documentation of nursing intervention be done appropriately, and the care given be evaluated accordingly to improve the quality of care that nurses are rendered. This proposed change that is selected is designed for a long term care facility in Syosset, Long Island, with the vision to maintain excellence in care. The need in this health care facility for the change will be examined as well as the organizational and individual barriers to the change. Even though there are factors that might influence the change, there are also factors that will influence the organizational readiness for the change. The success of the changed will depend on the right theoretical model approach, and the right availability of internal and external resources. This new change will allow other providers to have access to the medical records without having to fax or mail them which may delay care. When a patient requires more intensive care such as cardiac distress that requires a transfer to a more skilled facility, the EMS transporter must wait for all the paper work to be done, including xeroxing the doctor’s orders, the labs, immunization, advance directive...

...Decision in Paradise Part II As previously discussed in the proposal “Decision in Paradise Part I” Wal-Mart is looking to expand an organizational presence onto the island of Kava. There were some issues that came up in the initial proposal I submitted which included technology, environment, construction of the building, labor issue, and ethical issues. I want to focus on the largest of the issues that will affect the implementation of this project in the early stages. Building in a foreign country can be taxing and building on an island will make some materials hard to find locally. To identify the problem we first needed to see what would be available to our contractors for use from the local area. The project team mentioned in the first paper will be in charge of discovering what is available and what will need to be imported to Kava. We are considered a “big box” store that has multiple meanings but the term does not mean our construction is simple. Not only do we need to contend with the importing of major supplies we need to make sure the construction of our building will withstand many natural disasters that occur here on Kava. We have identified the problem of not being able to get all the materials need for the build on the island so we will need to come up with a solution to that problem. To find the solutions the project management team will be using the decision-making technique known as brainstorming. Brainstorming is the, “Process for generating creative ideas...

...researchers. Especially in China, with the thirty years of reform and open relations, a huge number of domestic immigrants have migrated into the big urban areas. They are facing many obstacles in their struggle to make a position in a new environment. Is there anything that the urban planners and designers can do to help them blend into the society and give them a sense of belonging and identity? This research will make efforts to address this question and discuss the relation between immigrants and urban environments, particularly the public open spaces by a series of research methodologies. Some literatures will be reviewed and discussed to give a general understanding of the relation between urbanisation and immigrants and the effects of public open space. Then, in order to narrow the research scope, the investigation of immigrants’ social integration condition will be conducted in Guangzhou which is one of the most developed metropolises in China with large amounts of domestic immigrants. Moreover, the white-collar immigrants were chosen as the main research target group. In general, “white-collar” refers to a salaried professional or an educated worker who performs semi-professional office, administrative, and sales coordination tasks, as opposed to a blue-collar worker, whose job requires manual labor (Mills 1951). In this research, the term “white-collar” mainly indicates people with a certain level of incomes and education background. They can also be generally considered...

...foundation of the society which strengthens the human world.” This is from the research paper of Ms. Jesalyn Pastorfide. This inspires us to choose the topic “Broken Family Relationship: Affects the study habits of High School students of Saint Francis College – Allen”. In studying, having a complete family somehow inspires a student to study hard. Our family is the first environment in which we are exposed to. We can’t choose the family we want but what it will depends on us. A broken family can lead teenagers to Juvenile Delinquency. We are aware that there are some teenagers with broken family that are drug addicts or whatever. But there are also teenagers that are not involved in drug addictions. Marriage begins in Matrimony in which the couples are saying vows in front of the crowd and in front of the Almighty God. But there are some couples who were happy after their wedding but eventually separate without thinking what will happen to their child/children. Some parents are teaching the teenagers to always choose the right decision but are they choosing the right ones? Some will say no, some will say yes. There is no definite answer. In this research, we will be interviewing some students with or without broken family of Saint Francis College – Allen to know if having an incomplete or broken family can greatly affect study habits of students. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This research was made clear about the study on “Broken family relationship: Affects the study...

...associated with its demise, yet not a single one has been pinpointed as the true destructive factor. Traces of volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes have all been found, but no conclusions can be drawn. The brief history of Minoan Crete, lasting from 2600 to 1100 BCE, consisted of three very diverse eras both politically and economically. These periods are Prepalatial, Protopalatial, and Neopalatial Minoan Crete. The island of Crete, located south of Greece in the Mediterranean, is one of the largest islands in the sea. It is approximately 200 km from east to west and 12 to 58 km from north to south. The Minoans took full advantage of their location and abundance of natural resources by engaging in trade with all nearby countries and empires, making most of their money on exports. With a powerful navy and a culture influenced by Egypt and Mesopotamia, Minoan Crete was not only viewed as the wealthiest Greek civilization, but also as the first European civilization. Because little is known of the very early Minoans, recorded research and history begins at 2600 BCE in the Prepalatial Era. With major cities at Myrtos and Mochlos, the center of economic growth rested in trade. In need of metals and ivory, the Minoans traded primarily with Egypt, Syria, and the Arabian Peninsula. Though they seemed somewhat organized in their commercial affairs, there was no evidence of a central government or source of authority. Daily life was focused around the communities...
